Lot 60/5 Synopsis

‘Fatty, close the tap!’ Peek into the lives of everyday people in , a comedy that’ll make you laugh and cry with its ironical look on life. As the play opens and progresses with a look at the day in the lives of the neurotic characters, come a threat to Yang and his tenants – a buyer for the shop lot. The play climaxes with the question: will Yang succumb and sell his lot, or will the eccentricity of the bunch come up with an alternative?

Yang plays the landlord who inherited a three-storey shop lot from his late parents and he rents out all the rooms to ten tenants with different characters and backgrounds, i.e. a serious teacher, a romantic playboy, a timid clerk, a mischief nightclub dancer, a straight-acting VCD seller, a sissy tailor, an honest hawker, a soft-hearted loan-shark, a fashionable college student, and a country mouse from China. The story started when an international developer company wanted to buy over the shop lot with a very high price…..the ending is unpredictable.

The comedy is told thorough fast-paced dialogue that will engage the audience with its humour and unpredictability. The play also endeavours to promote the spirit of neighbourhood which is fast depleting in our modern society.

Join Yang and the rest as they depict a story that is essentially about all of us. A story of survival, neighborhood, friendship and family.

Mission Statement

The Golden Stage Theater’s mission is to provide the people from any background in Malaysia, opportunities to develop their creative and social skills through the medium of the theatrical or musical arts by being a national provider of innovative theatrical projects of the highest quality and using theatrical processes to assist the personal, social and cultural development in Malaysia.

History of GST

GST was founded this year by three young enthusiastic individuals, who joined forces with the idea of producing entertaining world-class plays. They aim to provide the other collaborators the opportunity and support not only to act, but to write, direct, produce, sweep, paint, hang lights, etc.


In fact, the company has started working on Lot 60/5, the company’s premier comedy play that depicts the real faces of society today in order to create awareness about the different facets of life we all experience, and yet might never have really noticed.

“We wish to grow out of a shared artistic sensibility and a desire to create personal work that reflects the community in which the company lives”, says Zac, the artistic director of GST. He also emphasizes that GST is dedicated to developing new plays through a unique creative process. “We hope that by working with more talented and passionate artists, this supportive environment will eventually allow freedom of expression and nurtures creativity”.
